So you are a Humpty-Dumptyist (as in Alice in Wonderland).
I agree with that. The thought shouldn't be the master of
the thinker, but it does try to take over. See also: "meme".
The "the = only" fallacy is very common.

The idea of existence of things implied by the verb "to be"
is not itself essential ... or is it? All of math can be
based on the concept of "X is a Y" versus "X is not a Y".
One can't even say yes or no without that; only "um" and "arg".
Accepting that, one sees objects/nouns and relations/verbs.

I do accept that, and math and science. But there
could always be other ways of thinking, outside that.
Nouns and verbs could be mapped onto something else;
that is their inherent nature and use, mappability.
Metaphor is the essence of language, and analogy
is the basis of thought.
